These Halloween treats were yummy as well as cute. I did add extra powdered sugar and chilled the balls to make them easier to dip; I also had to melt extra almond bark, as I ran out before I got all the balls dipped. I followed the recipe otherwise and think they made a great presentation. (I liked the look of the decorating gel, but think it may be more practical in some instances to use an icing that actually "sets".) Thanks for posting this fun recipe!

Great Idea! Made them with my nine year old. We took them to a birthday party (that conveniently was a couple days before halloween). They were the hit of the party. They were sloppy dipping and the eyes didn't come out smooth, but that may be my lack of candy making education. It didn't change the fact that they were fun and very cool.

<p>I love to cook and bake! I work for a bank. I love to shop for FUN! I love old vintage cookbooks with simple, tasty recipes. My passion is SEE FOOD....see it and eat it!!! Pet peeves are incomplete recipes and recipes that call for fancy ingredients. If I had a bunch of free time with no responsibilities I would shop til I dropped and spend money like there is no tomorrow....:) My hubby is a tow truck driver and we have an 25 yr old son. We have 4 minature longhaired dachshunds.... I am a breeder as well (with a collection of rare color/pattern combinations).Also, another little fact about me is that I am related to Zaar Chef NursLinda.</p>
